The phrase that “tests are the only objective assessment of student learning” is subjective in itself. Some may agree with the statement…obviously as testing has so much emphasis on it. The truth is tests are important. Yet, what needs to be taken into account is that not all students learn the same, not all students perform the same either. Some experience terrible test anxiety, while others may be very relaxed. We need to remember that there are many different ways to create and administer tests, quizzes, assessments, or whatever one wishes to call them. The following comic sums it up real nice.
